“No matter which candidate you pick, you can cut the cynicism with a knife.”

American voters do not believe Trump will build a wall on the Mexican border or expel 11 million illegal immigrants, if he’s elected president, and voters don't believe Clinton will even try to limit secret money in politics or reign in the power of Wall Street, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released Thursday.

Only 24 percent of voters believe Trump, if elected, would be able to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it, while 39 percent say he will try and fail and 29 percent say he won't even try, the independent Quinnipiac University Poll finds.

Trump would be able to deport about 11 million illegal immigrants, 19 percent of voters say, while 45 percent say he will try and fail and 29 percent say he won’t try.

Trump gets his best score on his promise to ban non-citizen Muslims from entering the U.S., but only 29 percent say he will succeed. Another 42 percent say he will try and fail and 21 percent say he won't try.

Clinton would not even try to remove secret money from politics, 63 percent of voters say, while 9 percent say she would succeed and 18 percent say she would try and fail.

She also would not try to curb the power of Wall Street, 56 percent of voters say, as 15 percent say she would succeed and 21 percent say she would try and fail.

“Will Donald Trump build that border wall or toss 11 million illegal immigrants out of the country? Voters believe that as much as they believe Hillary Clinton will police Wall Street or stop the flow of outside money into the pockets of politicians,” Malloy said in a release announcing the results.

“There are grand promises that stoke enthusiasm at rallies, and then there is reality. Voters say Trump would try and likely fail, while Clinton would not even try,” Malloy added.

Clinton does better on one promise. If elected, Clinton would reduce the debt burden for students at public colleges and community colleges, 22 percent of American voters say, while 39 percent say she will try and fail and 32 percent say she won’t try.

American voters approve 49-48 percent of the job President Barack Obama is doing, matching his 49-48 percent in a March 24 Quinnipiac University poll, his best score in three years.
